Sesame oil is extracted from sesame seeds.

Sesame oil is reputed to provide many health benefits. It contains monounsaturated fat, preferable for anyone eating a heart-healthy diet. Regular sesame oil has a light, nutty flavor, and since the sesame seeds used to create it form antioxidants during the roasting process, it has a long shelf life and does not become rancid easily. It has a high smoke point, making it a good choice for sauteing and frying. It can also be used for salad dressings and marinades. Properly storing sesame oil is easy due to its shelf-stability.
